Your knowledge and ability to communicate really serve the public. Thank you for your straight forward explanation of this critical conflict and the possibility of peace. Time will tell.
Thank you for this, Col. Vindman. We are fortunate to have a person with your background and extensive foreign affairs knowledge to let us know what is really happening in the middle east and the Ukraine. I am particularly worried about Ukraine under the trump/vance administration as both of them are in we of that degenerate Putin. So, please continue to keep us updated on what's going on there as well.
I disagree on a few of your appraisals; first Israel has had a near-total victory on the ground for several months, but has suffered catastrophic losses for most of this offensive in how Israel is viewed by the rest of the world. Biden has aligned us with a far-right genocidal regime at the cost of our own national politics. Second, your list of the biggest losers in the conflict omitted the Palestinian citizens! People who have been taken over by armed gangs, and who are losing political power and land, are not necessarily terrorists! This "cease fire" also seems to ignore the growth of settlements into the West Bank, and offers no solutions to the apartheid systems that have led to all this
Still love you and your brother's bravery! You are aware of how Russia has softened up the American psyche with a mind war like you experienced in Ukraine and saw in other Russian satellites, so I always want your insights!
But what happens to the Palestinians? And I'm absolutely sure the Israelis will continue to expand their settlements. This looks like a case of might makes right to me.
“Israel, Hamas Quarrel Over Final Details of Gaza Cease-Fire “by WSJ
Israel delays cabinet vote on agreement after accusing Hamas of backing out of some parts of the deal
Inside the article
“Israeli and Hamas officials quarreled over the final details of a cease-fire deal that would pause the war in Gaza, underscoring the agreement’s fragility as mediators worked to ensure that it would go into effect on schedule on Sunday.”
Thank you sir for your educated insights into this conflict. With the incoming administration your experience and intuition is more valuable than ever.
They want access to the oil pipeline. Egberto Willies interviewed the daughter of someone "in the know" (Can't remember in what capacity) Perhaps I can find it for y'all.
I listened to that episode. I’m sorry, but this “daughter of someone in the know”, Charlotte Dennett, is completely misinformed about history and the facts. She is spreading misinformation, just like the Fox “News” spreads misinformation.

Eric, thank you for this thoughtful reply. I agree with much of your assessment.

Hi Joan. Thanks for the link but I don't subscribe to apple news and can't read the articles. Thanks for trying.

Thank you for your post. Unfortunately, I don’t agree that this agreement is a win, nor do I foresee “peace” for the Middle East anytime soon.
